Cookie Policy — Phra Heritage

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to remember certain information — such as whether you have already accepted a cookie notice, or which pages you have viewed.

Cookies do not contain personally identifying information on their own, and they cannot access files stored on your device. They are widely used to make websites function correctly and to provide information to website owners about how their sites are being used.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies Always active

These cookies are required for the website to function. They include cookies that store your cookie consent preference so we do not show the banner on every page load, and technical cookies required for security. These cannot be disabled.

Examples: cookieConsent (session/persistent), XSRF security token

Analytics Cookies Optional

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, and where they come from. This information is used in aggregate and does not identify individuals. It helps us improve the site's content and usability.

Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) — retained for up to 26 months

Marketing Cookies Optional

These cookies may be set by advertising platforms to track the effectiveness of campaigns that directed visitors to our website. They may be used to show you relevant advertisements on other websites. We do not currently run advertising campaigns, but this category is provided for transparency.

Examples: Facebook Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking

Preference Cookies Optional

These cookies remember choices you have made on the website — such as language or display settings — so that the site behaves consistently across visits. Disabling these cookies may mean that certain preferences are not remembered between sessions.

Examples: ui-lang, display-settings

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. These include:

Google Analytics — used to analyse website traffic and user behaviour in aggregate. Google's privacy policy applies to data collected through this service.
Google Maps — our website includes an embedded map on the main page. When you view the map, Google may set cookies in accordance with its own privacy policy.
Facebook/Meta Pixel — may be enabled for conversion tracking purposes in connection with advertising. Only active if the marketing cookie category is accepted.

We do not control the cookies set by third-party services. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of those providers directly.

4. How Long Cookies Last

Cookies fall into two broad categories by duration:

Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used for temporary functions such as maintaining a secure session.
Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually. Our cookie consent record is stored as a persistent cookie and remains for up to 12 months. Analytics cookies from Google Analytics expire after up to 26 months.
